This study assesses the implementation of Oregon-based child welfare models in
Ukraine in the context of the Family For Children (FCP) curriculum. Both trainees' and
trainers' perspectives on these issues were surveyed. The assessment shows that the
implementation of Oregon-based models needs some adjustment to local socio-economic
conditions and current child welfare policies in Ukraine. Nine recommendations have
emerged as a result of this study that relate to logistical, organizational, and
communicational aspects of the training. None of the recommendations concern the
conceptual content of the training, and overall all participants judged the curriculum and
training to be very successful.

Paleo data-model comparison is the process of comparing output from model simulations of past periods with paleoenvironmental data. It enables us to understand both the paleoclimate mechanism and responses of the earth environment to the climate and to evaluate how models work. This dissertation has two parts that each involve the development and application of approaches for data-model comparisons. In part 1, which is focused on the understanding of both past and future climatic changes/variations, I compare paleoclimate and historical simulations with future climate projections exploiting the fact that climate-model configurations are exactly the same in the paleo and future simulations in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5. In practice, I investigated large-scale temperature responses (land-ocean contrast, high-latitude amplification, and change in temperature seasonality) in paleo and future simulations, found broadly consistent relationships across the climate states, and validated the responses using modern observations and paleoclimate reconstructions. Furthermore, I examined the possibility that a small set of common mechanisms controls the large-scale temperature responses using a simple energy-balance model to decompose the temperature changes shown in warm and cold climate simulations and found that the clear-sky longwave downward radiation is a key control of the robust responses.
In part 2, I applied the equilibrium terrestrial biosphere models, BIOME4 and BIOME5 (developed from BIOME4 herein), for reconstructing paleoclimate. I applied inverse modeling through the iterative forward-modeling (IMIFM) approach that uses the North American vegetation data to infer the mid-Holocene (MH, 6000 years ago) and the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, 21,000 years ago) climates that control vegetation distributions. The IMIFM approach has the potential to provide more accurate quantitative climate estimates from pollen records than statistical approaches. Reconstructed North American MH and LGM climate anomaly patterns are coherent and consistent between variables and between BIOME4 and BIOME5, and these patterns are also consistent with previous data synthesis.

Since 2011, Structure-from-Motion Multi-View Stereo Photogrammetry (SfM or SfM-MVS) has gone from an overlooked computer vision technique to an emerging methodology for collecting low-cost, high spatial resolution three-dimensional data for topographic or surface modeling in many academic fields. This dissertation examines the applications of SfM to the field of fluvial geomorphology. My research objectives for this dissertation were to determine the error and uncertainty that are inherent in SfM datasets, the use of SfM to map and monitor geomorphic change in a small river restoration project, and the use of SfM to map and extract data to examine multi-scale geomorphic patterns for 32 kilometers of the Middle Fork John Day River. SfM provides extremely consistent results, although there are systematic errors that result from certain survey patterns that need to be accounted for in future applications. Monitoring change on small restoration stream channels with SfM gave a more complete spatial perspective than traditional cross sections on small-scale geomorphic change. Helicopter-based SfM was an excellent platform for low-cost, large scale fluvial remote sensing, and the data extracted from the imagery provided multi-scalar perspectives of downstream patterns of channel morphology. This dissertation makes many recommendations for better and more efficient SfM surveys at all of the spatial scales surveyed. By implementing the improvements laid out here and by other authors, SfM will be a powerful tool that will make 3D data collection more accessible to the wider geomorphic community.

Lean thinking principles, based on the Japanese concept muda, have been successfully applied in manufacturing and product development organizations since the 1940s. The software development community can realize similar benefits, with potential to eliminate wasted efforts inherent in the serial and structured traditional software development process. This study defines the seven basic principles of lean thinking (Poppendieck and Poppendieck, 2003), examines how they relate to the software development process and suggests techniques for their application.

The coastal zone includes coastal lands and also nearshore marine waters (Kay and Alder 1999). The interaction between terrestrial and marine environments is what makes the coastal zone unique. Thus, coastal management addresses various interrelated terrestrial, coastal, and marine issues. Effective coastal management requires practitioners to overcome challenges such as dealing with overlapping jurisdictional boundaries and agency responsibility, and attempting to balance a diverse range of marine and terrestrial activities (Peel and Lloyd 2004).
Coastal and marine spatial planning (CMSP) is a relatively new and evolving ocean policy concept (The Nature Conservancy 2009). Coastal management has typically occurred on a sectoral basis, characterized by ad-hoc planning, inadequate coordination, and reactive in nature (Jay 2010). Advocates assert that CMSP can address these issues by acting as a mechanism to facilitate integrated, ecosystem-based forms of management (Douvere 2010). Supporters also emphasize the importance of CMSP in resolving conflicts among ocean users and coordinating multi-sectoral agencies in the decision making process Douvere 2010). In theory, CMSP should assist in solving many of the traditional marine management issues.
However, there still remains a lot of ambiguity around the details of coastal and marine spatial planning. As Fanny Douvere points out in her recently published PhD thesis “Coastal and marine spatial planning: concepts, current practice and linkages to other management approaches”, that there is a lack of research that illustrates what CMSP is really about, how it is being applied in practice and how it is linked to other management approaches (Douvere 2010). She also indicates that there has been a lack of academic research to identify the “critical” elements that will ensure that the marine spatial plan can achieve anticipated results.
This research will probe deeper into the gaps identified by Douvere. Through a case study analysis of Oregon‟s Coastal Management Program and the Territorial Sea Plan, the research will examine whether CMSP (as a process) and the associated spatial plan (as a guiding document) are being used to address traditional issues and achieve coastal management goals. The research will focus on Oregon‟s approach to territorial sea planning and management, and the role of coastal and marine spatial planning within this context. Oregon is one of three states in the U.S. to undertake a comprehensive coastal and marine spatial planning effort. Oregon recently amended its Territorial Sea Plan to include policies, standards, and development requirements for renewable energy projects within state waters. Currently, the Department of Land Conservation and Development is working with stakeholders to add a spatial component to the Territorial Sea Plan. The product of this effort will be a territorial sea planning document that will guide future development of wave energy projects and help to balance the state‟s conservation and economic goals. Oregon‟s coastal management program was established over thirty-seven years ago. The maturity of this program will allow for a critical review of integrated coastal management and assess how coastal and marine spatial planning is being integrated into the established system.

Medieval Aquitaine was a vibrant region in terms of its politics, religion, and
culture, and these interrelated aspects of life created a fertile environment for musical
production. A rich manuscript tradition has facilitated numerous studies of Aquitanian
sacred music, but to date most previous research has focused on one particular facet of
the repertoire, often in isolation from its cultural context. This study seeks to view
Aquitanian musical culture through several intersecting sacred and secular concerns and
to relate the various musical traditions to the region's broader societal forces. Saint-Martial
in Limoges and Toulouse, two musical and cultural centers, illustrate the wider
cultural context in Aquitaine, and a survey of select manuscripts shows the development
of a musical tradition. An examination of three disparate pieces shows that the repertoire
as a whole is a more unified part of Aquitanian culture than previously recognized.

The preservation of architecture associated with underrepresented communities has been hindered by traditional biases in preservation. The post-contact history of Native Americans of the Klamath Basin has not been exempt from this trend. Archaeologists have begun to uncover evidence of post-contact lifeways of Native Americans on the former Klamath Indian Reservation in southern Oregon. This thesis examines the influence of 19th and 20th century federal policies on reservation households, using data from archaeological investigations at a 19th century Native American homestead (the Beatty Curve Site, 35KL95). This information, coupled with historical research, is used to reconstruct the homestead and cultural setting on paper and will be useful in identifying similar properties. More importantly, this thesis adds to a regional and national narrative on Native survival, adaptation, and cultural persistence in the face of new social realities in the post-contact period. This thesis includes previously published and unpublished co-authored material.

The history of community city can trace back to 1907. At that time, Edward J. Ward, a Presbyterian minister in New York, proposed community center in schools which provided facilities for inner cities outside school hours. The idea was successful. The community was opened for gatherings, group activities, social support, public information, and other purposes ("Community Centre"). However, most community centers lost its significance in modern lifestyle. Except for community centers operated by specific organizations, other community centers are just simply rental spaces for parties or rooms with gym facilities. It is no longer a place for community gathering. What programs should be put in community centers so as to adapt the use of the building type into modern society? In what way the community center should be designed so that it can gather the community? The research will compare 3 community centers in Beaverton in terms of their organization, sources of income, facilities, types of services they provide and facilities. The assumption of the research is that neighborhoods are close to each other, thus people can commute by walking. In part I, brief introduction of each community center will be given. Comparisons between different centers will be given in a table and a short conclusion. In part II, HECTTEAS Tables will be drawn for each center out of the information from the research so as to understand the community centers in terms of architectural programming. Part III will be a summary of all data and a conclusion.

The Brief Betrayal Trauma Survey (BBTS; Goldberg & Freyd, 2004) assesses potentially traumatic childhood and adulthood experiences, which can be categorized as high in betrayal (HB) or low in betrayal (LB) depending on whether the perpetrator was close or not close to the respondent. Previous research has provided support for betrayal trauma theory (Freyd, 1996) in revealing that, while LB predicts psychological distress in adulthood, HB traumas explain significantly more of the predictive variance. In the present study, changes in the BBTS were introduced in an effort to increase its interpretability and validity, and further tests of betrayal trauma theory are being conducted. Our preliminary findings are consistent with previous research in that HB events significantly predict higher levels of dissociation, depression, and anxiety symptoms than do LB events. In our sample of young adults, childhood HB events alone, and not events experienced in adulthood, predict increased symptomatology. Furthermore, those childhood HB events that were directly experienced explain the most variance, whereas those that were witnessed or heard about do not contribute to the predictive associations. These findings have implications for conceptualizations of traumas, their sequelae, and their treatment.
